Agenda – Skip April meeting. Reconvene in May when school is back in session. Our normal meeting in April would have been after the semester ends and having a meeting during finals week is not practical either.
Called and passed motion to reimburse Jennette and Kaya for expenses for snacks for Freedom to read panel. Elizabeth agreed, J’Amy seconded the motion

OLD BUSINESS
NEW BUSINESS
This past weekend we hosted some students from the University of Washington iSchool student ALA group! This was the return trip for the trip some of us took down to Seattle last January. We’re hoping they will continue to happen in the future!
While we (or at least I) didn’t get any photos of the tours we went on, we at least got a couple of many of the students involved.
